Question for you, on the subject of SPOP ships: would you have been okay with Glitradora (essentially the poly trio) being a thing, had Nate Stevenson decided he wanted to go that direction? I'm just curious as someone who loved how the Catradora arc was done in the show.

(And for the record, I understand your indifference towards both Korrasami and CaitVi--the latter will need some more seasons in the oven to really flourish, while the former is severely hampered by the constant executive interference Nickelodeon pulled on LOK during its original run.)

if glitradora were made canon i would have eaten my own face (/pos) my god the CONCEPT,,, the DRAMA,,, the DYNAMICS,,,,, that would have been my roman empire actually

also agree w everything you say here indifference is a great word for it. caitvi i actually see the potential in them i don't dislike the pairing it just rlly isn't compelling to me. i actually felt a little,,, weird about it? it felt like it came out of nowhere to me?? which i know isn't true but something about it just strikes me as Rushed idk (vi is still one of my favorite characters though)

as for korrasami i lowkey feel bad hating on it bc i KNOW how much the network screwed over the writers about it, but like,,, man i don't even see the potential in this one ahgakjsdas. i will admit though a big part of this is just the general writing of tlok i felt wasn't great so the character dynamics seem sorta weak to me. i AM glad for what they did for representation in kids' cartoons though and i'm glad ppl are having a good time shipping them. the fanart is gorgeous also

idk if this interests u but im white and my grandma on my dad's side literally has served me chicken (like most of her meals are a plain undercooked unseasoned meat + like 2 unseasoned overcooked vegetable) but like literally i said like "is that cooked??" and she just laughed and said "i hope so" and then proceeded to expect me to eat it uncritically like........... how is it controversial this shit is Bad... and often unhygenic. :/

"like idk but i feel like white culture is expecting ppl to eat horrible bland poorly cooked potentially sickening meals and then being expected to say "thanks it was lovely" like............. sorry gah anyway hsdfkjhs i dont like my grandma's cooking sdfjskh."Oh my god I'm so sorry?? There's honestly NO excuse to not even learn how to cook food through properly. Like my (Mexican!) great grandma didn't know how to cook when she got married and we all have this hilarious family story about how she washed a chicken with dish soap and water because she genuinely didn't know how else to "clean" a chicken but her husband was like oh....honey.... (He worked as a cook for the railroads so like this wasn't like "you are a deficient woman" it was "you need to learn to feed yourself let me help.") but when I was a kid everyone thought of her as a great cook. Literally all it took was bothering to learn so that she could know how to feed herself! And like my family grew up poor! My mom's parents both grew up poor and they all know how to stretch a cut of beef or chicken in all kinds of ways. I met both of my great grandmothers and they both were good at cooking for cheap cheap cheap and for a TON of people. Like poverty makes people really fucking creative when it comes to food! Sidebar: this isn't talked about NEARLY enough but the 19th c American southwest developed amazing bonds and connections between Mexicans and Chinese folks! I don't know if anyone has studied how Mexican American and Chinese American foods ended up influencing each other, but I do know lots of folks who intermarried and I know for a fact that local Chinese grocers kept my Tata (grandpa) fed growing up because they let families run a tab and buy food before payday and then pay it back when they had money. So like even poor POC folks in the US shared food and places that they got food from and we stuck together! We relied on each other! I can only imagine we influenced each other locally *somehow*, you know? And my great grandpa who worked as a cook -- I never met him but he had to cook dirt cheap for HUNDREDS of people laying down rails. Anyways I have been known to eat plain tortillas straight (sometimes I get nauseous from anxiety so I like eating plain stuff when that happens), but like I don't claim a plain tortilla is the #noble poverty meal of my ancestors ???
